So, it looks like I’ve been away for a little over a month. Strange, I actually thought it had been much longer. I guess I’ve just had an enormous case of life lately. Heather was sick, then I was sick, then Linus was sick, then I was sick again. And through it all I’ve just been sick of being in front of a computer. Work has picked up quite a bit, so when I do manage to set aside some derisory amount of free time, I generally would rather be doing something more relaxing (e.g. reading a good book). But I digress…
Our little guy is one year old today! It’s been an unbelievable year with this little tyke. I don’t think I even came close to imagining how awesome life could be as a parent. Linus is happy and healthy, and honestly, I think those two things could sustain me until the end of my days. So happy birthday big shot!
Linus and Judah have been the best of friends lately. Judah gets attention, and Linus gets to slap and scream at another creature. What can I say; the kid takes after his old man. Of course, there are more in the Linus set. Bonus points if you can find the macaroni!!
Perhaps in the haze of all the pano photography you figured I’d neglected to take any photos of Linus. That couldn’t be further from the truth. This kid is still getting plenty time in front of the lens; I just haven’t had much time to actually do anything with the photos. I just added a few semi-recent shots of the little (big) guy to my Flickr photostream as well as the neglected Misc. Linus set.
In related news: I recently switched all of Linus’ photos at Flickr over to private status. The reasons are myriad, and I could get into a whole discussion of perceived privacy in the information age, but suffice to say that if I don’t know you, you probably don’t need to have hi-resolution images of my child. So, if you’re already one of my contacts in Flickr, you’ll see the images just fine. If not, just add me as a contact, and I’ll do the same for you.
If you don’t want to be bothered with contacts and pictures of painfully cute babies, well, chances are I never really liked you anyway.
I’m not sure what Branden’s doing lately - I mean, no post since May 22nd on Legally Bland??? I’m going to pick up a little slack here and get my birthday off the front page. Let’s now talk about the day after my birthday - Father’s Day. I don’t have the FD pictures on the computer yet, but here’s a little something from our stint in Michigan. I don’t want to embarrass him by going into detail, but let it be known that Branden’s a great and awesome father to this little guy. By the way, to those of you who said that having kids would make him less of a neat freak - you’re all wrong! This is all for now, there’s more important things to do: laundry, tidying up, dishes, and make-up.
There’s no doubt that Linus is the single most popular photo subject around here lately. I’m still working toward taking an artistic photo jaunt sometime soon, but for now I’m perfectly content to aim the lens at this little guy. Can I be blamed?
I just uploaded a backlogged group of photos of him to Flickr. Check out the Linus collection if you want to see about a kajillion (60) new photos. There are new sets for Easter, Bath Tyme, and ExcerSaucer, as well as some additions to the Misc. set.
